New Trash, Recycling Receptacles Installed In Bryn Mawr

BRYN MAWR, PA — Downtown Bryn Mawr has some new, tech-y trash and recycling receptacles thanks to Lower Merion Township's Public Works crews.

Crews recently installed eight sets of new environmentally friendly "Bigbelly" side-by-side trash and recycling containers.

These new containers use solar energy to power a compactor inside them.

Additionally, they have sensors that electronically let Public Works know when they need to be emptied.
